In February, EU foreign ministers extended a prohibition on the supply of arms to Syria... but a climbing death toll and the prospect that President Bashar al-Assad government forces may be using chemical weapons against civilians has led to calls from Britain and France to ammend or lift the embargo in order to better equip the opposition. But critics point to the dangers of arming rebel groups with proven links to terrorist organisations.

http://www.euronews.com/ Colombian farmers are at the heart of an agreement reached between the government and members of the Marxist-led \'Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia\' (FARC) after months of peace talks.

The two sides have reached a deal on the economic and social development of rural areas, and the providing of land to poor farmers living there.

In Cuba,  where the talks are taking place, the lead government negotiator, Humberto de la Calle, reminded everyone the deal would only take effect  when an overall peace accord is achieved.

BEIRUT A pair of rockets slammed into a car dealership and a residential building in strongholds of Lebanon\'s Hezbollah militia in southern Beirut on Sunday, wounding four people and raising fears that Syria\'s civil war is increasingly spreading into Lebanon.

Lebanon\'s sectarian divide mirrors that of Syria, and Lebanese armed factions have taken sides in their neighbor\'s civil war.

There was no claim of responsibility for Sunday\'s attack. However, a Syrian rebel commander threatened earlier this week to strike against Hezbollah strongholds in retaliation for the militia\'s military support for Syrian President Bashar Assad. Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim group, while most of the rebels are Sunnis.

Street fighting between rival Lebanese groups has been relatively common since the end of the country\'s 15-year civil war in 1990, but rocket or artillery attacks on Beirut neighborhoods are rare.

The rockets struck hours after Hezbollah\'s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, vowed to help propel Assad to victory in Syria\'s civil war and warned that the Syrian leader\'s overthrow would give rise to extremists.

In February, EU foreign ministers extended a prohibition on the supply of arms to Syria... but a climbing death toll and the prospect that President Bashar al-Assad government forces may be using chemical weapons against civilians has led to calls from Britain and France to ammend or lift the embargo in order to better equip the opposition. But critics point to the dangers of arming rebel groups with proven links to terrorist organisations.

http://www.euronews.com/ Colombian farmers are at the heart of an agreement reached between the government and members of the Marxist-led 'Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia' (FARC) after months of peace talks. The two sides have reached a deal on the economic and social development of rural areas, and the providing of land to poor farmers living there. In Cuba, where the talks are taking place, the lead government negotiator, Humberto de la Calle, reminded everyone the deal would only take effect when an overall peace accord is achieved. "Once we have that final document, and I hope this happens, it will be submitted for the ratification by the citizens (of Colombia) in a national referendum." Land reform is one of the main issues behind FARC 's decades-long insurgency. "By resolving this issue Colombia is at the same time opening up the way for a debate on democracy," said FARC's main negotiator, Ivan Marquez. More than 100,000 people have died and millions have been displaced in Latin America's longest-running conflict. About two million hectares of land have been stolen from farmers by armed groups with twice that amount abandoned by those fleeing the violence.

French Soldier Stabbed' May Have Been Inspired By 'Woolwich Attack'
French Soldier Stabbed' May Have Been Inspired By 'Woolwich Attack'
  • Order:
  • Duration: 1:18
  • Updated: 26 May 2013
Police in France have said the stabbing of a uniformed soldier in Paris may have been inspired by the murder of British soldier Drummer Lee Rigby in London. The 23-year-old French soldier, Cedric Cordier, was in a busy underground train station in the west of the city when he was stabbed in the throat by a man believed to be of North African origin at around 6pm on Saturday. French President Francois Hollande said the attacked could not "at this stage" be linked to the murder of Drummer Rigby last Wednesday. He added: "We still do not know the exact circumstances of the attack or the identity of the attacker, but we are looking at all options." Christophe Crepin, spokesman for the police union UNSA, said: "You don't have to be a great observer to be able to see the similarity. "We are in a place where a soldier and an individual comes to stab ... you don't have to be a great observer to see that people are taking inspiration from acts committed abroad, to reproduce them here." The soldier was with two colleagues patrolling the business area of La Defense as part of France's Vigipirate anti-terrorist surveillance strategy when he was approached from behind and attacked with a sharp metal object. After the attack, the assailant reportedly "melted into a crowd" and fled the scene. CCTV footage of the attacker showed him as being tall and bearded, aged about 35, possibly of North African origin and wearing a white Arab-style tunic, police said. Mr Crepin said: "We know that he is tall, athletic, we think he was wearing a white tunic and sneakers. Things are evolving ... everything has been recorded on video and we will find him." Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, who has visited the wounded soldier in hospital, told reporters: "They tried to kill the soldier because he was a soldier." Mr Le Drian, who said the man was in a stable condition, vowed to continue France's "implacable" fight against terrorism. The stabbing came three days after Drummer Rigby was hacked to death on a street in Woolwich in broad daylight in a suspected terrorist attack that has raised fears of potential copycat strikes. Interior Minister Manuel Valls told France 2 television: "There are elements - the sudden violence of the attack - that could lead one to believe there might be a comparison with what happened in London. But at this point, honestly, let us be prudent." French security forces have been on heightened alert since their country launched a military intervention in the African nation of Mali in January to regain territory seized by Islamic radicals. Earlier this month, Mr Hollande said France was taking seriously a call by al Qaeda's north African wing for Muslims worldwide to launch attacks against the country's interests over its military operation in Mali. Last year, three French paratroopers were killed by a man police described as a French-born Islamic extremist who then went on to strike a Jewish school in the south of France, killing four more people.

2 Rockets hit Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut - May 26, 2013
  • Order:
  • Duration: 2:30
  • Updated: 26 May 2013
BEIRUT A pair of rockets slammed into a car dealership and a residential building in strongholds of Lebanon's Hezbollah militia in southern Beirut on Sunday, wounding four people and raising fears that Syria's civil war is increasingly spreading into Lebanon. Lebanon's sectarian divide mirrors that of Syria, and Lebanese armed factions have taken sides in their neighbor's civil war. There was no claim of responsibility for Sunday's attack. However, a Syrian rebel commander threatened earlier this week to strike against Hezbollah strongholds in retaliation for the militia's military support for Syrian President Bashar Assad. Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim group, while most of the rebels are Sunnis. Street fighting between rival Lebanese groups has been relatively common since the end of the country's 15-year civil war in 1990, but rocket or artillery attacks on Beirut neighborhoods are rare. The rockets struck hours after Hezbollah's leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, vowed to help propel Assad to victory in Syria's civil war and warned that the Syrian leader's overthrow would give rise to extremists.
